On the History Channel the other night, on the program "Modern Marvels" they were showing junk yards and crushers, etc., and showed some old Cats being destroyed for scrap. Kinda hard to watch that destruction. GWH
I talked to an employee at a scrap yard in Klamath Falls Or. and he said that he rembered a large Best tractor with a wheel out in front that they picked up and dropped several times until most of the cast broke up,(probably a 75 or 90) RT
GWH,
I think I watched that episode. All I could do was cringe and almost cry. Some of those tractors did not look that bad. If nothing else they would have been good parts donors.

I went to a Parts (junk) yard last weekend to Not find the PV15 I was looking for. It was gone as well as many other machines that were around it. Should have got the stuff last trip while it was there, Bummer

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
